Best Stadium Food In DFW

There’s more to stadium snacks these days than hot dogs, peanuts and Cracker Jacks. From Kobe burgers and sushi to hand-made tacos or truffled mac-n-cheese, concession stands at stadiums are serving up some incredible edibles to fans who enjoy eating at the game as much as they do watching it. While traditional favorites still hit high scores, food savvy sports fans are always looking for more. From updated oldies to new regional chow, here are the best food picks on stadium menus right now.

With a new $11.5 million upgrade, there’s now a food selection as massive as some of the offerings on the field. Foodies can score a home run all around the park with 45 permanent food concessions and 63 portable ones to choose from. The pickings are especially good at the new Vandergriff Plaza food court, where you’ll find the Captain Morgan restaurant, Smokehouse 557 and a Mexican street food taqueria.You can’t have baseball without hot dogs, but the franks at Captain Morgan come every which way and not always in just a bun.

Try the two foot long Boomstick Dog weighing in at a pound, resting on an Empire Bakery roll and fully loaded up with shredded cheese, chili, sautéed onions and jalapenos for $26. Or customize your own with 12 different toppings on a potato bun from the Food Network’s hot dog bar. If Yu’s at the pitcher’s mound then head over to the Captain Morgan Club for the special Yu Dog—wrapped in a wonton, deep fried and topped with beef teriyaki, seaweed salad, sesame seeds and wasabi mayo.

A game at Cowboys Stadium is more than just a sports event — it’s an experience of gigantic proportions. It’s only fitting that the largest and fanciest domed stadium in the world is going to have one of the largest and most upscale food selections as well. With 700 points-of-sale, including restaurants, kiosks and concession stands, fans don’t have to travel far to find a varied selection of gourmet grub ranging from sushi and Kobe burgers to BBQ, cheese steak and quesadillas. Don’t worry if you still want a hot dog––there’s plenty to go around, because every season at Cowboys Stadium, fans consume about 8,000 pounds worth of frankfurters.
